I have reviewed forum entries regarding “pages missing” but none seem to be related to my problem which is…

While editing a page, I decided to also change the page’s title and permanlink to make it more seo-efffective. I then updated the page.

The page now displays properly, showing the updated content, updated title, and updated URL.

BUT… The page no longer displays on the admin PAGES list – neither under the old nor under the new title. It is missing, and so I am unable to edit it, if I wanted to.

So the page exists in the database for it displays properly, but… some relation of the page to the PAGES list is broken. (I might also mention that the pageid is unchanged, for I have a slider which correctly displays when that page is selected).

Is there some way I can fix this? Thanks for any help you can provide! ~ Michael

Thank you and Best Regards
Hani,

I’ve created a static “home page” and seven other pages, the titles of which (About, Contact, etc.) appear at the top right in alphabetical order in a horizontal line. All of that works fine.

I learned from the Codex that I can have the order of the seven page titles appear in the order of my choosing (rather than alphabetical) based on the order number I assign to them in the Edit or Quick Edit section for each individual page. After putting order numbers in for each page, the page titles still appear in alphabetical order on the home page.

Then I discovered in the Codex (on page “Function Reference/wp list pages”) that I need to insert some different code, I assume in the Twenty Fourteen template HTML. The Codex says to use this code to sort pages by their assigned order:

<?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order’); ?>

Question: Where do I insert this code?

I went to DASHBOARD > APPEARANCE > EDITOR and see what I assume is the HTML for the Twenty Fourteen template. But I don’t know if this is where the above code is to be added. If so, where within the existing HTML? Or is it to be added somewhere else?

I’m obviously trying to figure this out without having to hire a WP developer — but if I’m above my pay grade with these questions, let me know.

Thanks for any help.

I put to sidebar.php this:
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=post_date'); ?>

But I would like to show the tags near the page name in the pages list.
How can I do this?

(the plugin use the common things example: get_the_tags(); etc.

Thanks!

But I’ve gotten stuck!

I would like to tweak the font color/attributes of the list of pages and sub pages that I’ve got displayed in the left sidebar using the Pages widget.

https://blog.harperhewes.com/

For instance, I’d like to use a different font color and/or bullets to make the sub-pages stand out relative to the main pages.

I’ve gone through the style.css file several times, but I can’t seem to find the code that sets those elements.

Can anybody help me out? Thanks!

this is the code i use:

<div id="sidebar">
		<ul>
        	<li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
			<?php $g_page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
$ancestorIDs = _wswwpx_page_get_ancestor_ids($g_page_id);
$grandParent = $ancestorIDs[0];
wswwpx_fold_page_list("title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$grandParent);
?>
		</ul>
	</div>

DOes this has to do with the css??

hope somebody can give me a hand.

Thanks

Any way, the problem is that even though I have a 404.php file in my theme and even have the if 404 bit in my index.php, whenever an invalid url is pulled up on my site (such as https://www.nitallica.org/456789/ ), it displays a list of my pages. (not recent posts, the PAGES)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this in any of my installs, nor any clients’. It is only happening on one of my blogs (www.nitallica.org), and I have not been able to reproduce this on any of my other installs.

I even tried disabling ALL of my plugins and it was still doing that.

Any ideas? Because I’m absolutely stumped.

I’d like to order the Pages list and Blog Roll list alphabetically instead of the order in which they were added.

Does anyone have a quick snippet or pointer for how to do this?

Many thanks
Ed
